What Contributes to Bad or Negative Moods

Are you in a spiral of negative thinking that effects your moods? In this video from The Dr. Cloud Show, Henry examines “automatic thoughts.” An automatic thought is akin to a reaction, not a conscious thought. Start by monitoring your automatic thoughts with a list. Over time this monitoring becomes stronger and allows the individual to question and change those thoughts. You will see that those automatic thoughts in question will become intentional thoughts.

Its so nice to see somebody speaking complete thoughts, calmly and peacefully. That alone can take us out of negative habits

That story with the sheep was the best 😂

Beautiful!

Thank you! 🙏

It would be really helpful to hear your own story and how these principles helped you out of your depression. In other words, we can relate to real life stories, especially when told in the first person.

I’m not into being a rescuer I’m not going to be ms codependent doc if someone needs help they need to cry out to Jesus Christ He is always there to help his children!!

[@guadalupeeg5034]

Helping people doesn't make you a rescuer or codependent. You can help someone without becoming toxic.

[@DaleRFetz]

This person is a little cold. Jesus works through people.

[@dm-eu9lk]

I am a christian and I am depressed, I cry out to Jesus , he is the one who can save me, but God is also the one who can choose to save his people through other people. I don't want to be a burden to s.o else, but showing love and compassion, are important : sometimes it's more about apple pies and hugs instead of sending people away because we are not available to love them...

[@wendellst2266]

I have had those same disobedient sheep. Lol. Hope she had more success with them than I did.

[@leekflower1]

What if I didn't see my spouse as critical and grumpy. Game changer. Although I don't think I should view myself as a 'rescuer'. Maybe I'm wrong?

I have a question on the part of viewing people that is acting out of hurt. I have done this for 7 years in my marriage, and it seems like it has not helped to heal him but enabled him. How would you say to go about with someone gaslighting and portraying narcissistic traits and behaviour? My thing has been for years that; he is not a narcissist; no one is, as I believe people behave in ways that agree with certain personality disorders but to make it part of their character seems like a total doom as they can never heal. And i believe all can heal with God's help. I feel that responding correctly to my husband in a way that would help him heal when he does things that violate our marriage that are not helping him change. It is consuming my life and taking all the carelessness out of my life because he makes irresponsible decisions. Even if he is acting out a place of hurt when he makes decisions, those decisions hurt me. Like porn and lying etc. I am getting divorced because I feel two people must bring their part. I cannot be the only one to put in the work. He has been seeing a psychologist for 3 years, and the same behaviour prevails or is exasperated. I feel tired of being the one to ""love" him back to healing" I feel only God can do that if he allows it has tried for seven years. In the process, I have become severe collateral damage in his problem due to years of gaslighting and being reduced. Enough is enough. I am out. God needs to take the wheel.
